Criminal Records
e-VERIFILE.COM, Inc.
can provide you with the most comprehensive commercially available
criminal record search.
A search through county courts, federal courts, and statewide repositories
for any criminal histories that can reveal serious and disqualifying
information seldom volunteered by an applicant. Performing a criminal
record check can provide protection against "negligent hiring".
Recent court rulings have determined that employers can be held
liable for the damaging actions of their employees or customers, if,
based on the employee's previous actions, he or she should have been
disqualified for the position.
Preserve the integrity and image of your business. We utilize a network
of over 3,000 court researchers to obtain criminal records from counties,
municipal courts, federal courts, and statewide repositories. Each criminal
record request goes through an extensive "validation" process.

Single County
Criminal Record Search
SINGLE COUNTY FELONIES
AND MISDEMEANORS, Our court researchers perform an extensive search
of all records pertaining to your applicant at the county seat. They
acquire all felony arrest and disposition information, including upcoming
court appearances and any misdemeanor information located at the county
seat. The data is then evaluated by paralegal's to confirm accuracy
of subject and adherence to all applicable state laws and the Fair
Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requirements. The final report is available
to you on-line within an average of one to three days of your submission.

Multi-County Criminal Record Search Using 7-year Address History

to track UNDISCLOSED ADDRESSES where the subject has previously resided.
We locate criminal records, both felonies and misdemeanor (if at same
location) from courts in other states in addition to the current state
of residence. County criminal searches contain both arrest and disposition
records. Furthermore, our compliance department evaluates the data
to confirm accuracy of subject and adherence to FCRA requirements.
Our search and evaluation technique minimizes your vulnerability to
career criminal activity, and reduces exposure to negligent hiring
and discriminatory labor practices litigation. The report is typically
delivered within 24 to 72 hours on average.

Statewide Criminal
Record Search
Available in approximately
forty-one (41) states. Criminal history information reported to each
statewide criminal system is derived from local law enforcement agencies
within that particular state, and may not always contain all criminal
record information within the state and/or subsequent judicial court
record dispositions. Crimes reported to the statewide system may include
felonies, misdemeanors, and/or traffic violations. Due to legal restrictions
in some states, however, the dissemination of criminal record information
from their state law enforcement database is not permissible, (i.e.,
only a county-level criminal record search may be conducted). Please
note that each state may establish specific criteria before permitting
the dissemination of criminal history information, (those requirements
may include fingerprint cards, or submitting an originally signed & notarized
authorization form, etc.). Finally, response time for processing and
returning statewide criminal record searches may vary greatly between
states. On average, response time will range from 2 days to 4 weeks.
Due to the nature of statewide criminal record systems, we recommend
county-level criminal record searches, (which are available in all 50
states). County criminal record information reflects the most up-to-date
and accurate status of a criminal record history. In addition, county
criminal record information is on average, generally accessible within
a 24 - 72 hour time frame.

The Nationwide Criminal Database Check (NCDC) Criminal Record Search
This is a great product to complement and broaden the regular county/multi-county criminal background search. It should not be used as the primary criminal search due to frequency and limitations of the data in the repository depending on the state being searched:
- Records date back at least five, seven, or ten years
- Not all counties in a state report information to this database
- Limited Jurisdiction
- Updates may be done monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually
- Only the latest incarceration information may be available
- Records contain information pertaining to a maximum of three, five or ten offenses
- History may be limited to the offender's latest offense
It is a comprehensive report created from the largest criminal database available with over 126 million offense records covering 38 states currently online. The database may or may not contain the following information depending on the state being searched:
- Current and historical felony and misdemeanor records, probation and parole records
- Criminal-traffic and criminal-non-traffic cases
- Current and historical statewide felony and misdemeanor information for inmates, probationers and parolees
- Offenders registered in the Sex Offender Registry
- Class A and B misdemeanor conviction records
- Gross misdemeanor information
- Arrest records
- Data on individuals who have been sentenced to serve time or community service, or have received suspended sentences or probation
NCDC
information available by jurisdiction.
This search will let you find a broad spectrum of information available
about your applicant. For example, since the regular criminal search
is based on county/counties of residence, you will only be notified about
offenses that have been reported to the county courthouse of the applicant's
county/counties of residence. Because the NCDC currently collects criminal
record information from 38 different states, there is a chance that this
search may uncover an offense committed outside of the applicant's county/counties
of residence. For example, if the applicant travels to an adjoining state
and commits a crime, a search of criminal records located at their county/counties
of residence will not most likely reveal such an offense. However, the
NCDC may have collected this information and therefore report it through
a system wide record search.
The criteria used to match records in the NCDC are the first name,
last name, and the date of birth. As such, a record may be generated
that
does not belong to the individual being reviewed.
e-VERIFILE.COM, Inc. recommends that this search serve as an adjunct
to county criminal record searches. The information included in the subject
reports is amassed from database sources which may not contain all current
information pertaining to individuals and events. Information contained
should not be the sole determining factor in the evaluation of an individual.
Any information contained should be verified to establish the identity
of the individual prior to any decision making process. No warranty as
to the accuracy of the information from the above sources is stated or
implied.
Whenever derogatory public record information is found in this database, FCRA guidelines
will be followed to send a consumer notification to the applicant by
mail about the information that was found in the database and who has
reviewed the information contained in the report results.
All that is needed to start ordering this search is to fill out the NCDC
